Delightful small shop with a surprisingly diverse selection. The owner is super nice and clearly takes a lot of pride in the quality and atmosphere because it is so well kept and decorated.

This place is amazing. The owner is extremely friendly and willing to share information about the coffee and food with no hesitation.I order an espresso every time, and I can full heartedly say that this is the BEST one in town. Not to mention the incredibly low price for the espresso. 2.49 for what I'd say is a triple shot is unbeatable. The coffee is from Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee.Instead of going to larger chains, visit this cafe for a change! Supporting this little cafe goes a long way, definitely go give a try if you are in the area.

Today was my first experience at Queen Sheba. The food was delicious and very filling. I ordered the injera fir fir for lunch and opted to have the lamb version.The dish was fulfilling using my right hand to eat . The injera was light and airy. Like an unsweetened, sourdough version of a French crepe. The fir-fir has a tangy, spicy kick to it. Combined with the savory lamb, it made a great combination of flavors.I got full pretty quickly on an empty stomach and took a third of it home. The owner was very welcoming, friendly and prepared my order quickly.I will be coming back

Authentic Ethiopian breakfast/brunch place. I fully recommend. We had the foul with eggs, the egg sandwich and Ethiopian coffee.
Smoooth coffee. Full flavored food infused with gratitude and love. We had a most wonderful time! It rivaled the concert we came to the city for. Walking into that delicious smell, energy, and being greeted with authenticity and love was life affirming.Kid-friendliness: kind to our teen

Lovely and authentic food. The owner is a really nice woman who clearly loves what she does. I am so glad I got to eat there. If I lived in Chicago I would definitely be a regular. If you’re in the area, you have to stop by.

Lovely little cafe in an interesting building you might miss. The owner was warm and friendly. The food was really great and was clearly homemade and made fresh. I'm looking forward to returning to eat on the patio.

I couldn't find the place at first. It's right across from the post office with the entrance facing the street rather than the parking lot. It's the most quaint tiny little store front. Very tasty and clean food. The bread loafs were huuuge and I ate the entire piece given how light and fluffy it was. The owner/ chef was warm and welcoming. My only complain was that some of the ingredients (onion?) were sharp and filled the small space, which was a bit uncomfortable for my sinuses.
